A WOMAN and two schoolgirls have been stabbed in a horror attack this evening as a man was arrested.
Cops rushed to First Avenue in Dagenham, East London, at around 5.35pm.
Officers, London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance also attended, police said.
A woman and two female children were found suffering stab injuries and have been taken to hospital for treatment.
A man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder and was also taken to hospital after being taken unwell.
A crime scene remains in place, the Metropolitan Police said.
Enquiries into the circumstances continue, the force added.
NASA is preparing to launch a floating space station built to orbit around the Moon.
The Lunar Gateway is meant to act as a space home and science lab – and serve as a base for astronauts to make trips to the Moon’s surface.
Nasa says it’ll be “the first permanent infrastructure at the Moon”.
And it’s designed to be a key part of Nasa’s Artemis missions to return humans to the lunar surface.
With the Apollo missions, Nasa simply dropped astronauts straight onto the Moon.
But Nasa says having the Gateway orbiting the Moon will allow for longer stays on and around our rocky space neighbour.
It’s around a fifth of the size of the International Space Station, and will orbit the Moon at speeds up to two miles per second.
The 63-ton station will be around 141 x 62 x 67 feet and can house four astronauts.
And it’ll be orbiting anywhere from 1,000 miles above the Moon at its closest approach to as far away as 43,500 miles.
It’s difficult to say exactly when Nasa will put the Gateway into orbit as space launches don’t always go to plan.
But Nasa says it’ll have a “minimum 15-year lifespan” once it’s up there – with the “potential for extension”.
Nasa says it’ll need at least four rocket launches to get the parts for Gateway into space.
And that process of launching and assembling it in orbit “will take approximately six years”.
That might sound like a long time, but it’s far less than the 13 years and 42 flights it took to build the ISS.
The first two modules are expected to arrive ahead of the Artemis VI mission.
This is the second crewed lunar landing mission in the Artemis program, expected to take place in 2028.
The Artemis mission is designed to reestablish a human presence on the Moon.
The exploration program will involve a series of missions, including the create of a permanent Moon base.
As with all space missions, planned timings can be wildly off – but here’s what we’re expecting…
Artemis I (2022) – Successful uncrewed test of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.
Artemis II (2025) – Planned crewed test flight of SLS and the Orion spacecraft.
Artemis III (2026) – Crewed landing on surface of Moon – the first American landing since Apollo 17 in 1972.
Artemis IV (2028) – Second crewed lunar landing mission using Orion, as well as Starship HLS that will dock with Lunar Gateway station near the Moon.
Artemis V (2030) – Third crewed landing, including the delivery of Nasa’s Lunar Terrain Vehicle.
Artemis VI (2031) – Fourth crewed landing, integrating the Crew and Science Airlock with the Lunar Gateway Space Station.
Then the Lunar I-Hab will reach the Moon “no earlier than 2028” as part of that mission.
It’s during that mission that astronauts will enter the space station for the first time.
And the plan is that astronauts will use the Gateway to descend to the Moon’s surface.
“Gateway’s unique polar orbit will provide Artemis astronauts and their spacecraft access to the entire lunar surface,” Nasa explains.
“Including the critical lunar South Pole region which is the focus of the Artemis missions.
“It will also ensure uninterrupted communications between the Moon and Earth, provide unique scientific opportunities within the deep space environment, and its high stability will enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs.”
The Gateway will be made up several different parts.
There’s the Lunar I-Hab, which is a living quarters with life-support systems and cameras.
You’ve also got the Orion spacecraft that shuttles astronauts from Earth to the Gateway and back.
Then there’s HALO, which is also a habitation module with life-support systems, fire-detection and suppression, and a moon comms system called Lunar Link.
There’s also an area called the Lunar View, which contains fuel tanks but also giant windows for astronauts to capture “stunning images” of the Earth and Moon, according to Nasa.
Nasa is currently testing mock-ups of Gateway modules to see if they work as intended.
This included a trial of the Lunar I-Hab module in Turin, Italy in the summer of 2024.
Here's what you need to know...
LAST week, doctors announced that the arteries feeding my heart were like something you’d find hanging from the roof of a cave in the Peak District and that I needed extremely urgent surgery.
You might imagine this was all very scary but honestly, it wasn’t.
The doctors were skilled professionals and they had all the tools they’d need, so during the procedure I was so relaxed that at one point, I nodded off.
I felt like a car. My fuel lines had become all clogged up and they were mending them. Easy.
Sure, they said there was a five per cent chance that my heart would stop but there’s a five per cent chance I’ll be eaten by a lion this afternoon and I’m not worried about that.
What is scary though is what came afterwards. The advice on how I must live my life from now on.
Literally, I am not allowed to have fun any more. I must live in a Liberal Democrat, holier-than-though fog of weeds, seeds and yoga. This is terrifying.
And if I go to a party, I must stand in a corner, nursing some refreshing elderflower juice, before going home at about 9.30. That’s terrifying too.
Then there’s my work, which I love. I like it so much in fact, I currently have ten jobs. I honestly make Elon Musk look like a slacker.
I write three newspaper columns a week, I have a brewery, a pub, a shop, I host Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, run a farm, make a television show about that and this week, my latest book came out.
“Yes well, a lot of that will have to go” said the doctor.
“And what would I replace it with? “Golf’s good”, he suggested.
No, it isn’t.
What do people do when they stop work?
It wouldn’t be so bad if I had a hobby but I’ve always thought that hobbies are for people who were caught playing with themselves by their mothers when they were younger. “Stop doing that and get a hobby.”
Have you ever tried kale? Well, don’t, because it’s like eating the contents of a AAA battery
Clarkson
I wasn’t, and that’s why I don’t make Airfix models or play the piano.
Which means that if I didn’t work, I’d just sit at home all day, rotting.
The worst problem though is diet. To cut my alarmingly high levels of cholesterol, I need to cut out, completely, everything I like eating.
Bacon, sausages, beef, lamb, pork, butter, chips, proper milk, Cadbury’s fruit and nut bars and the interesting bit in an egg.
I’ve had a week now to live in the new regime and it’s horrific.
Have you ever tried kale? Well, don’t, because it’s like eating the contents of a AAA battery.
And then there’s Greek yoghurt. What’s that all about?
I’ve suspected for some time that yoghurt is made from the cheese found in a homeless person’s genitals, and now I know this is so.
It’s disgusting.
But it’s not as bad as almond milk. Which a) isn’t milk and b) tastes like liquefied marzipan. Which is the only foodstuff worse than Greek yoghurt.
Booze? Technically, this isn’t necessarily high in cholesterol, but it does make you fat so that has to go too. All of it.
So, I own a brewery and pub and at the shop, a butcher’s counter.
Yum yum.
Except now, I can no longer get high on my own supply.
Instead I have to buy my “food” from some kind of wholefood store that sells nothing but South African nuclear-free peace beans.
We must now move on to the question of exercise.
I’ve always seen this is something you do when travelling from the car to the pub, or from the lunch table to the sitting room.
But apparently, when I’ve recovered from the operation, I must do more.
I must even go on the sort of “walk” where I end up back where I started. What’s the point of that?
And I must pick things up with the sole aim of putting them down again.
I’m also encouraged to sit up, using nothing but my stomach muscles.
And why? So I can lie down then repeat the process, over and over again until I’m exhausted.
Of course, you may well argue that I had it coming, that the wonkiness of my arteries is all my fault and that I shouldn’t moan.
And you do have a point.
The problem is that I see the gift of life as being about the same as the gift of, let’s say, a million pounds.
Some people would invest this money and live carefully and parsimoniously on the interest.
I wouldn’t, and indeed I didn’t. I grabbed the gift by the scruff of its neck and went berserk.
I wanted to see every country in the world, and have a Ferrari and always be the last to leave a party and never say no to anything that sounded exciting.
Not many people have dropped a laser-guided bomb from an F-15 fighter bomber. But I have.
I lived in a blizzard of hangovers and jet lag for 30 years.
Smoking? Yup. Started at 14 and became a world champion, sucking down sixty Marlboro Reds a day.
Drink? Big time. When doctors asked how much I was putting away each day, I’d tell them straight.
“Three or four pints.” They’d be reasonably happy with that, till I added: “Of wine.”
I always knew this lifestyle wasn’t going to cause me to live to 112, and I didn’t really care.
Because why deny yourself all that fun in your thirties and forties and even fifties just so you can have as long as possible with a grey face and a tube up your nose in an old people’s home?
Here’s the thing, though. I’m now 64 and last week, when the Grim Reaper poked his nose round the door, I decided that actually, I quite fancied living a little bit longer.
I want to see my grandchildren grow up. I saw the dawn this morning and it was magnificent, so I’d quite like to see a few more of those too. Also, I still want to visit the Galapagos Islands.
To achieve all this, I must live on water and steamed fish, and exercise.
But it’s going to be my eleventh job. Not dying. Of course, there will be those who say I should have started on this new career path earlier.
They have a point, except for one thing.
If you want to avoid spending the last few years of your life in a festival of boredom and denial, you must start the festival when you’re about 32.
And I can’t see the point of that. Living a long life of misery to avoid a short bit of misery at the end.
My recommendation then is to keep your foot hard down until you run out of fuel. And that’s when you buy the Tesla Lib Dem lifestyle.
When you no longer have a choice.
In short, je ne regrette rien.
LOVE Islander Maura Higgins is in advanced talks to join I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! after boxer Tommy Fury pulled out just weeks before the show started.
His exit helped pave the way for the Irish model and TV host because it meant there wouldn’t be two stars from the ITV2 dating show going into the jungle in the same year.
Maura, 33, actually vie for the affections of Tommy, 25, when they were both on Love Island in 2019, but he ended up with Molly-Mae Hague, also 25, and the couple dated up to this summer when they split.
Revelations about the separation – which were surrounded by allegations of cheating – could emerge around the campfire because Maura and Molly are now best friends.
A Jungle insider said: “With Tommy Fury pulling out it gave show bosses the opportunity to look at other Love Island stars and Maura stood out as the perfect candidate.
“She’ll bringing a bit of glamour to the jungle and make a brilliant campmate because she’s got a great sense of humour and is bound to get on with everyone.
“It’s shaping up to be a strong year for woman on I’m A Celebrity this year.”
Other names in the frame for this year include WAG queen Coleen Rooney, Dancing on Ice judge Oti Mabuse and N-Dubz singer Tulisa.
The stars usually jet down under in Mid November, around a week before the show, hosted by Ant & Dec, kicks off its three-week run on ITV1.
The Sun exclusively revealed yesterday how Tommy was pulling out of the jungle before signing a binding contract, despite the fact he’d been in talks with ITV producers for months.
It is understood he had been offered another more lucrative project, which is believed to be a rematch between KSI and Tommy, the younger half-brother of heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury.
It was thought he might have given his side of the story on the split with Molly-Mae, but now jungle bosses will be hoping Maura takes on the mantle.
She was back in the headlines this week when she was seen getting up close and personal with Strictly Come Dancing pro Kai Widdrington at the Pride of Britain Awards.
She was previously in a relationship with another Strictly pro, Giovanni Pernice, but they split in 2021.
Maura has long been seen as a rising star with ITV bosses, and she’s appeared on everything from Dancing on Ice to Cooking with the Stars.
Currently she hosts the After Sun spin-off from Love Island US.
A spokesman for I’m A Celebrity declined to comment.
MARRIED At First Sight star Hannah Norborn has hit out at her co-stars’ ‘double standards’.
Hannah quickly became of this series’ most controversial contestants with her flirty antics and husband swapping – but she thinks she’s been unfairly treated.
The bride made her feelings clear as she shared a video of herself, with the words: “When you get ambushed for asking someone if their shoe has fluff in but others can actually WRAP their legs around each other. Make I make sense.”
She accompanied the TikTok video with the audio of Gemma Collins on Towie, saying: “It’s tongue in cheek Danielle, it’s funny.”
Despite her antics, Hannah believes others have behaved just as badly and is comparing herself to Adam and Lacey in the TikTok post.
Adam sparked upset with wife Polly when she danced with Lacey, lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around him.
And Hannah caused an uproar on the show when she was accused of massaging another groom’s feet.
A huge row erupted when Polly mentioned that she found some of Hannah’s behaviour towards other grooms on the experiment inappropriate.
She told her friends: “Last night after the commitment ceremony she’s gone up to Shannon and Ryan’s room and she was rubbing Ryan’s feet in front of Shannon and going ‘ain’t you got nice blue eyes, your feet are so soft, isn’t it nice and warm in there?’”
Hannah, who was then excluded by the group, later claimed she was just picking some lint off his shoe.
But despite her pleas of innocence, Hannah does end up with Ryan and in a shock move the pair ended up returning to the show together last night.
Still together:
Polly and Adam
Caspar and Emma
Kristina and Kieran
Alex and Holly
Nathan and Lacey
Ross and Sacha
Luke and Amy
Split up:
Ryan and Sionainn
Hannah and Stephen
Eve and Charlie
Richelle and Orson
